"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
As we reach the final day of 2024, we reflect on the year gone by. There might have been many blessings and joyous moments, some troubling situations, and for some, unforgettable losses. Yet, today's meditation verse reminds us: "In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
God's general will applies to all believers, yet He also has a unique and personal will for each of us. We can understand His specific will only by maintaining a close relationship with Him. Today's verse highlights a general principle for all believers—to glorify God in all things through thanksgiving.
Nothing happens in our lives without God's will. When we give thanks, we align ourselves with His purpose and surrender to His plans. God detests grumbling. During Israel’s journey to Canaan, many murmured against God when faced with hardships, and He destroyed those who grumbled.
"Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1 Corinthians 10:10-11)
These Scriptures are written as warnings for us who live in the last days. If we have faced losses or difficulties this year, let us refrain from grumbling and instead offer thanksgiving to God. Job, a devout man, experienced immense loss but remained steadfast in his praise to God, and God did not forsake him.
Similarly, if this year brought blessings in our personal lives and families, let us glorify God for His goodness. "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God." (Psalm 50:23) This verse teaches that thanksgiving not only glorifies God but also aligns our paths with His salvation.
So, dear friends, whatever we experienced this year, let us offer thanks to God. His blessings will surely be with us in the days to come.
